15 Minutes Swimming

The water temperature is slowly dropping. It was 75 degrees this morning. Again,it wasn't so bad after the initial chill. I tried to use hand paddles called "freestyle". I had a little trouble, but can see where they could help. They force you to lift your arms out of the water which should make for a stronger stroke. I might use them at the Aquatic Center when it opens back up (looking forward to a little warmer water).
I hit my goal weight today - 139.4. I now have lost a total of 65.6 pounds since I started my weight loss odyssey in 2005 and 30 pounds +/- since April of this year. I now need to keep the weight off and stay in this range.
